Hostwinds vs Linode vs Contabo

Customers describe a severe outage that left sites and servers down for a day or two, with client-area lockouts and little communication from support.

Servers run for a decade or more; a major outage in mid 2025 and a price rise are the gripes.

Cheap for the specs, and some customers run it for years without trouble.
